@indexofrefraction I know this is not what you've asked, but it might help you:
Redshift does have a method of subdivision called screen space adaptive, which make more subdivisions on polygons that are close to the camera and less to those that are far from the camera. So it relatively lightweight because it happen only at render time and still bring good results.

@indexofrefraction I was experimenting this exactly right now!
I'm sure it's not done in the most optimized way, but it does return a beautiful quad polygon, here is:

import c4d

def main():

    poly = c4d.PolygonObject(4,1)


    a = c4d.CPolygon(0,1,2,3)


    poly.SetPolygon(0,a)
    poly.SetPoint(0, c4d.Vector(0,0,0))
    poly.SetPoint(1, c4d.Vector(50,0,0))
    poly.SetPoint(3, c4d.Vector(0,0,-50))
    poly.SetPoint(2, c4d.Vector(50,0,-50))


    return poly

edit: this is just for generating a polygon, I don't know how to make parametric subdivisions on it.

@Cairyn said in Close any C4D Window:

That's because there is none. The Windows functionality in the API is very limited. You can open some through CallCommand but identification and handling of specific windows is not supported.

Only thing you could do is loading a new layout.

I was afraid of that answer
But thank you anyway :-)

Hi !
Is it possibly to close any Cinema4D window like the ones below by using python ?

I've tried acessing this command, but I had no success, because I didn't find anything on the python API to get C4D windows...

Thanks!

Thanks a lot @C4DS @m_adam !
So I think it's better to create separate CommandDataplugins to perform the same action of each button, it's less complicated and allow the user to change the keyboard shortcuts and exclude the need of the GUI being always open.

Although the m_adam suggestions may be useful for other plugins ideas I have. I'll try it later.
Thanksss !

Hello!
I'm so happy with the C4D python API, it allows to create scripts, plugins, interfaces, menus, etc, very easily!

My question is:
Is it possible to assign shortcuts to these buttons from gui.GeDialog ?

If not, I think I could achieve that by writing separate scripts to perform the same action the button does, so it appear in the customize commands window.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry @a_block !
That's because I have R19 at home and R20 at the studio I work.

But look the amazing result I got so far! it's almost done, I just need to test a little bit more to see if I find any bug and maybe implement some time saving utility.

Thanks again!

@a_block Nice!
Thanks a lot for explaining very well and for explaining the good practices when using a python tag, I used to use it wrong many times !

I'll certainly try to convert this script in to a plugin, since this rig is very popular in the studio I work.

I'll post on GENERAL PROGRAMMING & PLUGIN DISCUSSIONS when its done :^)

Thanks again!

Thanks @fwilleke80 and @a_block :^)
Sorry if I was unclear about what my question was, maybe my question is not that appropriate to Plugincafe, since it's not too related to making a plugin, but to make a simple rig with a bend and a null object. Maybe I should have posted in C4Dcafe .. I don't know

In short, my intention was to link the handle of a bend to a null, so I can move the null and affect the bend:

I know it's possible to do it with xpresso (in this case, the handle isn't attached to the null, but matematically in the same position... ), but I was curious if it's possible to do with python too!

thanks

Python, C4D R20

Hi !
I'd like to know if it's possible to get the position of a handle from a bend or twist object.

I fear that these handles only exists when the object is selected, if so, I don't think linking this handle to follow an object is possible... or is it ?
Thanks!
